Funerals
God’s love and power extend over all creation.
Every life, including our own, is precious to God.
Christians have always believed that there is hope in death as in life, and that there is new life in Christ over death.
We suggest you talk to your funeral director first and they will liase with us to make all the arrangements.
The Minister will help you design the service that best meets your needs, whether this is at the church, the crematorium, the churchyard or more than one place.

Our Churchyard
Only people who
- die in our parish or
- had their permanent residence in our parish at the time of death or
- were on our church electoral roll at the time of death
can be buried or have their ashes interred in our churchyard.
Where an existing grave is reopened we can be more flexible.
But please read the next section before deciding to have a burial at St Peter's.
Memorials
There are very strict rules on what is and is not allowed in our churchyard. Click the picture below to read the rules.
Please talk to your funeral director about this before deciding - if you want anything other than a very plain memorial you'd be better off at a council cemetry.
Please note that all memorials placed in the churchyard must be approved by us. Please do not order any memorial until you have checked with us.
